*Shown are 414 independent cases (not belonging to the same transmission chain) of 444 cases acquired abroad. Cases are stratified as healthcare-acquired (HA) and community-acquired (CA) for each sequence type (ST) and region of acquisition. In some instances, numbers in rows and columns do not add up to the totals because of persons with STs other than the ones listed or because cases were indeterminable with regard to transmission setting. CI, confidence interval.
